Bushman & Haas’ Ch. 8 “Diversity in Young Adult Literature”

LITERATURE CIRCLE

GROUP 5 - DISCUSSION DIRECTORS:

Your job is to develop a list of 3 good questions that our class might want to discuss about today's reading. Don't worry about the small details: your task is to help people talk over and focus upon a few of the big ideas in the reading and share reactions briefly. Usually the best discussions come from your own thoughts, feelings, and concerns as you read or afterwards. Now that you have finished reading B & H’s Ch. 8 “Diversity in Young Adult Literature,” generate questions for a very brief, focused discussion.



1. Are there more contemporary, student-centered strategies for teaching the classics with respect to changing classroom demographics vs. casting them to the side.

2. Strategies for accommodating different interests and demographics.

3. Suggest some of your own young adult literature titles to include in your curriculum.
